Subject : How do you package your applet in a JAR files and deploy it? What are the step that you take to do so?

Description

The step I take to package and deploy an unsigned applet are the following :

1. I make sure that my code is complete and that there is no bug.2. I put all my class files and ressources (images, music) in an empty folder.3. I open the command prompt and navigate to this folder.4. I type the following command : jar cvf Test.jar *5. I make an html page with the following content :

Ant and Maven seems like great tools when you have a big project but I don't think they are really usefull when you only have a few class and ressources. Also, I'm not able to talk about them because of my lack of knowledge.

Not sure if changing to the Object tag right now is a good idea. From wikipedia :

However, despite object being officially a recommended tag, as of 2010, the support of the object tag was not yet consistent among browsers and Sun kept recommending the older applet tag for deploying in multibrowser environments,[21] as it remained the only tag consistently supported by the most popular browsers. To support multiple browsers, the object tag currently requires JavaScript (that recognizes the browser and adjusts the tag), usage of additional browser-specific tags or delivering adapted output from the server side. Deprecating applet tag has been criticised.[22] Oracle now provides a maintained JavaScript code [23] to launch applets with cross platform workarounds.

IMHHHO : W3C... just recommend you to use new things, not things that are compatible, you know ... they just try to force people to conform to their recomendations, but those recommendation are not relevant in real world, this kind of organisaton need a reason to exist but the WEB is self-building...
